Delta Rebels Cheer

General Info

Cheerleading squads will be limited. Once a squad is filled, no other sign-ups will be taken. As there are no tryouts for cheerleading squads, squads will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. (Coaches may cut players from a squad for safety, disciplinary reasons, etc.) Fundraisers are organized and offered for the purpose of paying your child's Participation fee; however, it is not mandatory that you participate in these fundraisers, it is merely an option offered to you to lessen your out-of-pocket expenses. The sign-up/participation fee covers your child's participation in this program and all other necessary expenses incurred by the Delta Rebels. (Any fees paid using the fund-raising options will not be refunded.) The Delta Rebels charge a $25 fee on any and all returned checks.

Sign-Ups: A parent or legal guardian must sign up all Cheerleaders.
